Cpt. Power, 11 Jan 2018Man no OIS no Eis no IP67 or 68 only 32GB of diskspace, 9,5 mm thickness.
This beauty looks ... moreWell honestly I have encounter salesman who are against me buying Sony xa1 they says other option is better including Samsung a5,asus max,etc. I used Sony before but falling on a salesman talk I bought the max which has more than 4000mAh battery but now I regret as after 5 months of usage I got only 4hr sot and now I am using my bro old z3. So consumer should used their experience and buy product. I am buying the xa2 ultra as soon as it release in sure it won't cost more than a8.
Btw a good product is always welcome to me be it Sony,samsung or any Chinese brand..

goarweam, 11 Jan 2018I agree. I love Sony Xperia phones, but the prices are a bit too much, compared to some other ... moreThe iPhone and Samsung also like this, but iPhone is more and more brandname because it selling price is insanely high! Why don't you complain!? Maybe you live in a country with some policy to makes you only can choose between crap or China phones.

Shifa, 08 Jan 2018Fantastic design by Sony, I love it.. Very good spec too for mid-range. Can't wait to buy it..Man no OIS no Eis no IP67 or 68 only 32GB of diskspace, 9,5 mm thickness.
This beauty looks like a well fed man on a sweets.
Snapdragon 630 should be instead 660 and so on,
Low battery as well.
No Gyro no dual camera and as we know Sony it will be super pricey.
Dunno what you see on this 221g heavy brick but there is nothing i would like or recomend for my customers.

Saly, 11 Jan 2018Please help me . which is better Huawei Nova 2plus or Sony Xa1ultra. I wish i can wait xa2 ult... moreXa1 Ultra is better of course if you don't mind the lack of the fingerprint scanner.

Gen tse, 11 Jan 2018Still worse mobile sony does not learn how to do it correct...
It 18:9 ration time with 6 inc... moreLmao!! It hasn't even been pubicly released yet but just announced!!!! and considering it a mid-range SoC, the price would make it even more expensive like $400-$500+....

Kumar, 11 Jan 2018Over pricing kills sony market...in the smartphone competition..I agree. I love Sony Xperia phones, but the prices are a bit too much, compared to some other manufacturers.
Because let us all be honest here, the additional price we are all paying for is actually for the BRAND NAME.
Because if we remove the Sony brand name on these phones, the price equivalent to the specs that they put inside their phones should be a lot cheaper.

If sony keep on giving high price tag means it is better to stay away from the competition among the best phones because within 20k most featuring smartphones are available in market...if sony gives price tag to reasonable price means it is considerable otherwise go-ahead for some other brands

Still worse mobile sony does not learn how to do it correct...
It 18:9 ration time with 6 inch display and never forget to jump in to a midrange phone race with 18:9 ration display dual camera n snapdragon 660...come on do it....don't make me dispoint me

V_sony, 10 Jan 2018Have been busy on my xperia z ultra for the last 3 hours, mix of TV news live apps downloading... moreUses only when reading or watching news live apps and some surfing. LOL! You don't even use the Z ultra anytime cause you have other phones. That "charged 1 day ago" means that you literally don't use the Z ultra other than watching some news and surfing the web. So you prove nothing about its usage!

The chipsets are one generation behind after new Snapdragon 670 and 640 released. Sony should at least give 660 not 630. 630 is not much difference with 625. 2017 with 630 while other brands give 670 at the same price with this phone. At least fixed back the price! Your phones doesn't give much transformed from your predecessor Sony! Is this your strategy to kill other brands out there?
